PS: Sorry, things are more troublesome than I thought. I couldn't make it back in time.
After Zhang Yan returned to the cave, he sank the Divine Seal Essence Hut to the bottom of the Serene Lake. He only stopped when it reached a depth of three thousand feet.
This place was protected by the Mountain Gate Formation on the outside and protected by the Water Restriction Spell on the inside. It was also very well hidden. Hiding his body here would ensure his safety. Even if a great enemy attacked the mansion, he would be able to escape to another place before he reached the water.
After sitting in the Essence Hut for a while, he felt the spiritual energy flowing into his acupuncture points. When it flowed around his body, it was warm and comfortable. It was much better than what he usually felt. He didn't return to the cave and just breathed in and out.
He sat in meditation for five days and nights before his Qi returned to his Dantian and he woke up. When he opened his eyes, there seemed to be a flash of cold lightning that flickered for a few breaths of time before disappearing.
He raised his head and looked up, only to see that the pill jade hanging in the air had shrunk slightly.
He couldn't help but nod to himself. This item was indeed extraordinary. After reaching the third level of the Nascent Soul Stage, it was extremely difficult to increase one's transcendence energy by a single step. Moreover, his transcendence energy was especially vigorous, like a bottomless ocean, so it was even more difficult to accumulate and advance. However, after meditating for a while, he clearly felt a trace of improvement.
After looking at it for a while, he was puzzled.
Although this item was difficult to obtain, there were many of them. When Zhou Chongju had entered the Azure Dragon Sect, he had been bestowed several of them at once, and with the contributions he had made to the sect, it was unreasonable to only give him one.
Thinking about this, his expression changed. Was the sect leader hinting at something?
After thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was only one possibility. It was the time when the demon's cave would appear.
Although all the sects knew that the Devil's Cave would appear in the world within a hundred years, the exact date was still unknown. Whoever knew would have the upper hand.
If that was the case, then the time left to learn the sword was only sixty years.
His eyes narrowed and he thought, "Looks like I need to set a schedule earlier." He lightly shouted and let his dharma body escape from his body. He used the Water Escape Technique and returned to the inner hall.
Jing You saw him coming back. He came up and reported, "Laoye. Zhenren came to visit yesterday, saying that he has something to discuss with Master. "
Zhang Yan's thoughts changed. Zhang Boyan rarely took the initiative to look for him. Perhaps there was something important. Thereupon he said, "Right now I am free. Go and invite Mr. Zhang here. "
They didn't have to wait long. As soon as Zhang Boyan entered the cave abode, he went up to pay his respects and sat down. "My disciple, Zhao Yang, wishes to make a trip to the Six Great Demon Sects to gain experience. It's just that I have some connections elsewhere, so I've come to the Manor Lord to ask if this is possible. If it's inappropriate, I can make him give up on this idea. "
Zhang Yan thought about it for a moment. Zhao Yang's cultivation methods were all from the Devil Path. If he only cultivated in the Clear Nether Heavenly Lake, he might be able to increase his cultivation, but without the Devil Head, it would be difficult for him to cultivate some powerful divine abilities and dao arts. It was no wonder that he had such thoughts.
He thought for a moment and smiled, "Based on what I see, there shouldn't be any huge battles between the Xuan Sect and the Demon Sect in the next few decades. Zhao Yang can go out and search for opportunities."
Zhang Boyan got the confirmation and smiled. He stood up and bowed, "Then I thank the Manor Lord on behalf of my disciple."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "There's no need to thank me. It's just that Zhao Yang is alone outside. I hope that he can keep his heart."
Zhang Boyan nodded his head solemnly, "Manor Lord, I will."
After sending Zhang Boyan away, Zhang Yan thought for a while and then rode the astral wind towards the Floating Celestial Palace.
Because his identity was different now, every move he made was a big matter. Since he had decided to go to Shaoqing, he naturally had to bid farewell to the Sect Master.
After returning to the side hall, the boy went inside to report. After a while, he was led into the hall and saw Sect Master Qin. He went forward and greeted him.
Sect Master Qin's expression was much more casual than before. He smiled and said, "Zhang Yan, is the Refined Hut to your liking?"
Zhang Yan bowed and smiled, "Disciple thanks Sect Master for your generous gift. Although the Refined Hut is good, it still has some restrictions."
Sect Leader Qin chuckled and said with a deeper meaning in his words, "You don't have to be impatient. The sect will definitely not mistreat those who have made great contributions to the sect. You should first polish your skills and wait quietly for your opportunity."
Zhang Yan's heart moved and he nodded. He raised his hands and bowed again, saying, "I'm here this time because I want to go to Shaoqing three days later, so I'm here to report to Sect Master."
Sect Master Qin asked, "How are you going to go?"
Zhang Yan said emotionally, "Since I'm going to Shaoqing with Sect Master's letter, I'll be representing Qincang to go. I'll naturally set up a carriage and not disguise myself. I'll head there openly."
He did this after careful consideration. Originally, the three great mystical sects each occupied their own area. Although they were friendly with each other, they did not disturb each other. However, if he did such a thing, people would suspect that the two sects were working together to deal with the great calamity. Before he figured out the two sects' motives, he dared to say that no one would dare to act rashly, be it the mystical or demonic sects.
This was equivalent to him borrowing the power of the two sects to forcefully suppress the surging undercurrents. This way, he could ensure his safety during the period of learning the sword in Shaoqing.
Sect Master Qin pondered for a while before saying, "You're quite considerate. In that case, I'll help you again. I'll appoint Miao Kun as the vice envoy to accompany you."
Zhang Yan could naturally see the crux of it. Although Miao Kun had Just Now cultivated to the Yuanying realm, he was the sect master's disciple in name. His status was not ordinary. Yet, he was appointed as the vice envoy this time. Not only could it accentuate his high status, it could also show some seriousness. He immediately bowed and said, "Disciple thanks Sect Master."
At this moment, in the Clear Nether Heavenly Lake, Zhao Yang quickly received the news that he could go out to train. He could not help but feel excited. He also could not wait any longer. After packing up a little, he bade farewell to his master Zhang Boyan and left the Clear Nether Heavenly Lake. However, he did not know where to go. Thinking that Shen Dong was in the Linqing Monastery, he concealed his appearance and headed west. After traveling for over ten days, he arrived at the foot of Green Bull Mountain and sent a letter inside.
After a while, Shen Dong rode the Pill Fiend out. They exchanged a few words and then welcomed him into the cave abode.
The Linqing Monastery was very respectful to the disciples who came from the Qincang. Shen Dong's cave abode was not big, but it was built in a valley filled with spiritual energy. There were many strange flowers and plants here, and the courtyards were arranged in picturesque disorder. It was very quaint and elegant.
They sat down in the inner room. Zhao Yang said, "Junior Apprentice Brother Shen, I don't know how many years it will be before I return. Now, only you and I are from the Dongsheng Continent, so I came to say goodbye to you."
Shen Dong's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao is going to the Nether Spring Sect?"
Zhao Yang thought about it and said, "It has not been decided yet, but what I learned is the Nether Spring Sect's techniques. I heard that there are many geniuses in the sect, which is why they can compete with the Xuanmen. They have not declined for tens of thousands of years. I really want to go and take a look. "
When Shen Dong heard this, he could not help but feel envious. He said, "The Nether Spring Sect is a huge sect that has existed for tens of thousands of years. There are many elders in the sect. I want to learn a thing or two from them. I will benefit greatly. "
Zhao Yang laughed and said, "How can there be such benefits? Listen to my master. Listen to Master, the Nether Spring Sect has many techniques to see through people's hearts. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. You need to go elsewhere to train and learn some methods to protect yourself. "
Shen Dong's expression changed, and he seemed to have thought of something. He said, "Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao, I might have a way to help you with this."
Zhao Yang asked curiously, "What method does Junior Apprentice Brother have?"
Shen Dong said, "There is a spiritual cave 200 miles from here. I heard that it is a place where the yin energy of the earth gathers. A few days ago, three Perfected Ones from Qincang School tried to suppress this place. However, the cave went deep into the abyss, and they failed. They could only set up restrictions to cover it up. Now, many disciples from Linqing Monastery are entering there to cultivate and kill demons. Why don't you enter to cultivate as well?"
Zhao Yang couldn't help but be tempted when he heard this. He had also heard of the Sea Eye Devil Cave of the Dark Azure Sect, but he wasn't a Dark Azure Sect disciple, so he didn't dare to go there to cultivate. If there was a spirit cave here, then there was no need to be in a hurry to go elsewhere.
At this moment, a maid came in. Wan Fu said, "Priest Shen, Old Master Han has sent a few fresh carps. He said that they are rare delicacies. Priest Shen, please have a taste."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "I remember that Senior Apprentice Brother loved delicacies when we were in Dongsheng Continent. I don't have anything good here. Since Senior Apprentice Brother Han has sent fresh fish, then why don't Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao come and have a taste? You can go there later."
Zhao Yang was not a pretentious person, so he readily agreed.
After a few days, the news of Qincang School sending Zhang Yan, the head of the top ten disciples, to Shaoqing suddenly spread in Donghua Continent. The head disciple, Miao Kun, was sent to Shaoqing. This immediately caused a commotion in all directions, especially among the six major demonic clans.
The two major sects of Donghua Continent, one in the west and one in the north, usually went their own way, but if they joined hands, the situation would be like a pincer pressing down on them. They had no choice but to be afraid.
Not only the demonic clans, but even Yuxiao school, one of the three major sects of Xuanmen, was also a little uneasy. If these two sects joined hands, their strength would be too strong. They also sent people out to gather information, wanting to find out the truth.
In an instant, the originally heated situation in Donghua Continent suddenly calmed down. All the sects turned their gazes to the west.
In front of Qinghong Palace of Shaoqing Sect, a young Daoist with starry eyes and white teeth stood at the bottom of the stairs. He had been waiting here for an hour, but there was no sign of impatience on his face.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of a bell, and he saw a long stream of silver flowing down from the sky. It was vast and magnificent, like countless twinkling clusters of stars, and it illuminated the entire sky, causing it to be dazzling. He hurriedly closed his eyes and lowered his head to avoid being pierced by the brilliance.
After a few moments, the surging spiritual vigor slowly subsided, and a deep and deep voice came from the hall. It said, "Ran Xiushu, what are you here for?"
Ran Xiushu cupped his hands and said, "I am here for the matter of Qincang School sending an envoy to visit Shaoqing. Eldest Senior Brother has not come out of seclusion for a hundred years, and the Zhenrens are not in the mood to care about external affairs. No one can make a decision, so how should we deal with this matter?"
At the end of his sentence, there was some helplessness in his tone.
The voice was silent for a while, then said, "Who is the envoy?"
Ran Xiushu bowed and said, "The envoy is the head of the top ten disciples of Qincang, Zhang Yan, Zhenren Zhang. The deputy envoy is Miao Kun, a registered disciple of the Qincang Sect Leader."
The voice raised a few octaves, and only asked, "Is it Zhang Yan who helped Apprentice-Nephew Xun during the Sword Duel of the 18 sects?"
Ran Xiushu hurriedly said, "That's him."
The voice was silent for a while, then said, "Since he is the envoy of Qincang School, we should treat him with the courtesy of a sect leader. Pass down the order to our disciples to welcome him from three thousand miles away. Anyone who enters this world who is not from our two sects will be killed."
